How old is your church?

[mobile21]

Matthew 26, is where it tells us that God alone is our Father...

also, that was one of the questions i asked before, and never received an answer, and that is

what does it take to be classified as a saint?  how many miricles and of what types?

another question that has yet to be answered, is which sin is worse then another???

Oh forgot to mention something, for those that have mentioned they would like to see me back in the catholic church..... ready?  ok, here it is......... I Am Divorced....

OH NO!!!.... not annulled but divorced......  wow, that is rough.... now i can not be a pastor in just about every denomination there is... or even a deacon, or elder, wow,

cause i divorced........

that is in the past, and i am accepted into the Holy Family of Jesus, I have been adopted in as Royalty...... wow, can that be for real? YES !!!!!

for some one to be shut out of a church for a single peticular sin, to keep people from being pastors because of a single sin, or a single type of sin, then i guess there is no one that can ever be a pastor.... nobody is righteous in their own, but only thru the Grace of God, and His Mercy are we made righteous.

well, i can see this is not going anywhere fast again....

If you are divorced and you LOVE Jesus then you WON'T act against His will and commit adultery with another woman (Mark 10: 10-12).

However, if you want to "give in" to the life of promiscuity given by Hollywood then join the Anglican Church and start enjoying the "sexyness of christianity" .

When I heard of the now-extinct protestant VS catholic board I thought it was a terrible idea, but it's true this is the golden age for such debates.

We live in an era when the Anglican Church (second protestant church) fell in irreversible apostasy with women ordained as priests and now "openly gay & lesbian priests and bishops".

The Lutheran Church is losing members faster than you can say "Luther's herecy".

The tendency of "christians with no denomination" is widespread.

The rapture is upon us and self-evident truths about Christ and the Church contrast every day more with the society ruled by unchallenged sin.

This is indeed a great opportunity to convert as many souls as possible.

Bill,

I did come hear with a mission. What is wrong with that? If you don't have a mission your just a wandering fool.

Maybe you could take some of that zeal to defend Roman Catholicism to the Christian community and put it to good use...for like, gee, I dunno, preaching to lost souls about Christ's ability to save them.

I more enjoy preaching to heritics and schismatics it has been much more productive. Ya know some people just have a calling. BTW who are you to say that I don't preach to lost souls?

Godslove26 Has it occured to you that Christ's sacrifice was eternal. God is not bound by time like you.

I was backreading and have to ask.................has it occured to the Catholics that Jesus is not forever bound to a cross.........He is risen!

By the way I would never be the one to call Bill a fool Nicolas. Bill is far from being a fool.

Dum de dum dum but what do I know I'm a Charismatic.

It didn't seem to me like Nicholas was calling Bill a fool. He was just saying that we should live out our faith in our daily routine by seeking out those who are against us. Why? If you preach to those who know only what they have been taught by the heretics you can save a lost soul. If you save the soul of a heretic you can help those who will never have to listen to him and maybe those who have been corrupted by him if he decides to try to win them back, again, so to speak, but to a different cause, again.(lol)

define a heretic. I though we were supposed to witness to the lost above all.

Yes, we know he is risen, but you did not listen to me. His sacrifice is eternal therefore we can look apon the crucifix and remember his eternal sacrifice for us, the pain and agony for sins that are rightfully ours. Sins that we should be crucified for, not him. My question is why do protestants wear and have crosses in there houses. A cross without Christ has no bearing at all, and is meaningless. It takes the reality of what the cross was away, and turns it into a decorating device, not a torture instrument like it was. Now it is almost stylish to wear crosses. How many people even give a second thought about what is means to Christians, and when you take Christ off of the cross, it just make it easier for people to desecrate its sacredness to Christians. Now they are just cool wearing a cool new cross!

HAS THAT EVER OCCURED TO YOU!!!!!

My question is why do protestants wear and have crosses in there houses.

Our crosses celebrate that Jesus is no longer on the cross..........resurrection. If Jesus were still on the cross we would have no redemption. It is in His ressurection that we celebrate our own salvation. And that is why we have a cross not a crucifix.

In the tacitly defined sense of the word used here; heretic: one who professes and teaches things considered to be contrary to accepted religious doctrine(of course that is subjective). The difference implied here was the level of knowledge possessed by each party. Preaching to a 'lost soul' would be someone who just didn't know anything, was pretty much just lost. Preaching to a heretic would be someone who had found a place to stand and attack another and try to win support. Think about it like gambling one might be easier but pays off less the other may not be as sure a bet but the reward would be greater.
